Title: Man what a ride
Post by: OU812 on November 01, 2010, 09:40:03 AM
Well i think i finally got my head above the water.

Been a HUGE up and down ride.

Lost my partner in crime, still miss em. Had a big throwdown with his side of things and sold everything. >:(

Almost lost the farm. :-[

My son got married, that was fun, I think, dint remember the whole night. ::)

We got our baby girl, Taby off to collage. ;D

Now I'm just gettin the hang of this new thingy they call a mini, its a lap top thats really small, and easy to hide. 8)

Still a smokin every thing I see. 

Been bakin the sweet bread from the starter I got from Sonny.

The last couple weeks I've been makin cinnamon bread and every one really likes it, cant keep any around the house.

Taby has takin a loaf or two back to big girls school with her and her friends there really like it.

Got half a deer loin and a hunk of pork tender loin in a brine just a waitin for this weekend, was goin to do them up this weekend in a bacon weave but got busy helpin the neighbor move a big ole grain bin and had to rethink my plans.

Got more to ramble on bout but my fingers are a gettin tired, all two of em.

We jacked it up a little and then took off a ring then lowered it down and removed another ring and so on and so on till we got it low enough to go under power lines and then set the bid down on a trailer and slowly crawled it bout 6 miles to its new home. Didnt hit any thing but a road sign on the trip. The bin is 24' wide. the road is only bout 20' wide.

Wasn't to bad, went really quick. Had that bad boy down and on a trailer before night fall sat. And on the road early sun. The hard part was gittin that thing centered on the new pad. Looks kinda silly right now, short and fat. We are gonna start raising it tonight and tomarrow and the next. Gonna try to do a little every night after work.

how many rats did you see moving that grain bin?

If you go out in the middle of a huge ocean and stick your finger in the water, it feels just as if you stuck it in a glass of water.  That's because fluid pressure has nothing to do with volume; it's directly proportional to depth.  As such, while not often thought of as a fluid, grain in a bin acts like a fluid, adhering to the laws of fluid dynamics.  Therefore, the pressure, at the bottom of a loaded grain bin, is massive, necessitating greater and greater numbers of rings the closer you get to the bottom.  And that is why I'm still running this whole move thing through my head...  Good Lord...  Whatta job.

This is very true, but, the bin is empty. So we are not dealin with any of those pressures.  ;D
